Helmintox: instructions, recommendations, feedback

Have you ever thought about how dangerous worms are to humans? The experience of studying helminths shows that most modern people are not serious about this issue. Studies show that the vast majority of people believe that in order not to become infected with worms, it is enough to wash your hands before eating. This is a profound error. Malicious creatures with an unpleasant name can get inside the body, penetrating through the skin. To do this, it's enough just to walk barefoot on the soil contaminated by larvae. Some representatives of this species settle inside a person who has eaten poorly processed, worm-infested fish or insufficiently fried or boiled meat. And only some species, however, no less dangerous, enter the body through contact with carriers of invasion.

The presence of worms in the body dramatically reduces immunity, because they feed not only on our food, but also on our cells.

Parasites can lead to growth retardation, memory loss, the development of anemia. They are capable of provoking the vital activity of asthma, atopic dermatitis, pancreatitis. Because of them, the body develops putrefactive processes, leading to general intoxication.

What to do if the infection occurred, and the tests show the presence of worms in the body? Of course, take the medicine. One of the most effective is Helmintox. The instruction to the preparation tells that it is available in the form of tablets or suspensions. The remedy is very effective for fighting non-katorosis, enterobiasis, hookworm, and ascariasis. The causative agents of these invasions enter the body in different ways, but they are amenable to treatment with this drug.

Helminthox suspension, the instruction details its composition, it is a yellowish-colored aromatic liquid with a pleasant smell of caramel and currant. Usually it is prescribed for children under 6 years. To ensure that patients are not mistaken in dosage, bottles with a suspension are sold together with a measuring spoon. A child under 6 years old enough to take 1 spoon for every 10 kg of the body. Tablets are shown to adults and children after 6 years.

The active substance of the Helmintox medication, the instruction tells in detail about this, is the pyrantel. It causes blockade of nerves and muscles of helminths, paralyzes them, thereby ensuring expulsion from the body.

Helmintox, doctors' reviews testify to its effectiveness, it is good that it acts by itself, without additional use of laxatives. To sit on a diet before its reception or to abstain from reception of any products too it is not required.

To get rid of most helminths, it is enough to take the drug only once. Usually recommend to receive 12.5 mg per 10 kg of weight. In terms of measuring spoons or tablets, this is:

• 6 spoons or 3 250 mg tablets for adults weighing less than 75 kg;

• 8 spoons (4 tablets) for those whose weight is more than 75 kg.

For patients with excess weight (over 100 kg), the doctor selects the dosage individually.

Usually, Helmintox does not require a doctor's prescription. However, it is worth remembering that uncontrolled adoption of this remedy is fraught with complications.

First, the Helmintox medication, the instruction warns, can sometimes cause severe allergic manifestations in people with intolerance to the drug.

Secondly, an overdose of the drug can greatly damage the body, causing vomiting, nausea, indigestion.

Thirdly, the drug can cause adverse side effects: headache, severe dizziness. Sometimes an overdose leads to drowsiness, confusion, hearing loss, hallucinations.

Naturally, the doctor should provide possible adverse reactions and do everything to prevent their occurrence.

Finally, despite the effectiveness of the Helmintox preparation, the instruction explains that some worms are resistant to its action and require other treatment.
